MATERIALS NEEDED
Yarn:
To craft the Floreo slouch hat, you will need 1 skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Chunky, a luxurious 100% merino wool yarn that boasts 165 yards [151 m] per skein, in the beautiful color Mica.

If you're considering a yarn substitution, ensure you have approximately 140 yards [128 m] of Aran-weight yarn on hand.
